University of Tampa Class of 2029 Official Thread

Anyone for Spring 2026 gotten financial aid/merit info yet?

Not yet. Our admissions counselor said not until June.

My admissions counselor told me that financial aid won’t be out until June, but merit scholarships will be out in the next few weeks.

Funny how all the admissions counselors give different information. Mine told my daughter that if she doesn’t hear in the next week or so to reach back out to him and he will put her in touch with someone.

Agreed. We were told that housing applications should be available on March 1st.

On the spartan start portal it does show March 1 for Spring admits for housing.

Daughter is a spring admit/waitlisted for fall. I reached out to financial aid a few days ago but haven’t heard a response. Based on what I’m reading here, sounds like we won’t know about financial aid until June, but housing opens Sat March 1?

Neither yet. She was checking her South Carolina portal since RD came out today and decided to just check her Tampa one again to make sure everything was set so she could do Spring housing tomorrow when it opens. Immediately, it popped up with congratulations, you did it, you are in for Fall 2025 and gave her link to sign up for admitted student days. So I would just check. This happened about 45 minutes ago and she still didn’t get an email. Now she is having issues with not being able to access the housing application since she is on hold for Spring in that system. We made her deposit on 2/17.

Just checked portal after reading the recent posts here and daughter is also off the waiting list and accepted for fall start. Elementary Ed major from NY. So odd that they didn’t send an email. The letter was dated 3/5/25.
